If a stay at home mom got paid she'd make about 117,000 a year according to an article I read. A mom that juggles the load of a full time job outside the home and in the home would get paid about 68,500 a year. No it doesn't mean the working mom is less valuable, just that she has to contract some of the services out. ( day care etc) What do the figures tell you? That moms work hard inside the home, be it working mom or full time stay at home mom, y'all do a lot.

Been thinking about this lately because I've been staying home the last couple of weeks with my wife, daughter and new son. Since my wife has been recovering from a c-section I've been doing the laundry, running errands, doing house work etc. I keep telling my wife she is so much better at this than me. That her job is harder than my job(s) outside the home. She really is a great home maker and mama. It has been and always will be my aim to uplift her in just how hard she works for our family. These last couple weeks of being "Mr. Mom" has given me a new appreciation of her. Thankfully she's had grace on me because I don't run as tight a shift as she does, nonetheless she's appreciated the time off I've had and the things I've helped with around the house.
Colossians 3:19 (NLT)
19 Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly
